Welcome to college basketball’s championship week! With Selection Sunday officially days and not weeks away, Sports Illustrated is bringing you daily (and sometimes hourly) updates to the projected field as conference tournament results come in. From automatic bids being locked up in smaller conferences to key bubble battles in the power leagues, we’re keeping you updated with all the news and notes to get you prepared for the bracket reveal Sunday evening.

Here’s a look at the latest projected men’s field:

More separation has been created around the cut line after this weekend’s results. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Indiana all added needle-moving wins to their résumés to provide themselves some cushion. In the end, the debate came down to Ohio State, North Carolina, Colorado State and Boise State for the final spot in the field heading into Champ Week. All four have deeply flawed résumés, but for now, the Buckeyes’ quality wins over Kentucky, Maryland and Purdue were enough to overlook their ugly 17–14 overall record. The team making things most interesting at the moment is Colorado State, which continued its surge with a huge road win at Boise State on Friday. An at-large may still be a stretch, but CSU could make a very compelling case with a trip to the Mountain West title game.

It’s also worth noting that the current cut line is likely to move up at some point this week due to bid-stealer situations. The first such scenario (Drake losing in the Missouri Valley tournament and joining the at-large pool) didn’t come to fruition, but several others could emerge over the course of the week.
